What is Somatuline Depot?

Somatuline Depot is an FDA-approved prescription drug used to treat a condition known as acromegaly that occurs when the body makes too much of a certain natural substance called growth hormone. This medication is usually used when surgery or radiation therapy have not been fully successful or cannot be done. The treatment of acromegaly helps to reduce the risk of serious problems such as diabetes and heart disease. Lanreotide works by decreasing the amount of growth hormone to normal levels.

This drug is not a cure for acromegaly. It is used for the long-term treatment of this condition. Somatuline Depot may also be used to treat certain cancers or tumors of the stomach, neuroendocrine tumors, and a condition called carcinoid syndrome. It may help to slow the growth rate of these tumors.

Somatuline Depot comes in the form of a subcutaneous solution that is injected deep under the skin of your buttocks.
